Which way to point your antenna in Remington
Point your antenna SW, at about 220°. The main network towers for Remington sit in that direction, so a single directional antenna can pick them all up.
Two network stations, WPBI-CD and WPBY-CD, transmit from the same tower site about 29 miles southeast of Remington (147° SSE). Point at that site and a single antenna setting picks them all up.
Of the 5 full-power and Class A network signals that reach Remington at fair strength or better, 60% arrive from the southeast; the rest are spread across one other direction.
WICD (ABC) and WCCU (Fox) lie beyond the radio horizon of their transmitter as seen from Remington. Past that point signals fade quickly, so antenna height matters more than amplification.
Antenna and amplifier advice for Remington
The farthest main network tower for Remington is WCCU (Fox), 62 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an outdoor directional antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
At this distance a low-noise preamplifier mounted on the mast, right below the antenna, helps more than an amplifier near the TV. It boosts the signal before cable loss eats into it. See the amplifier guide.
